OTX-015
OTX-015 is a potent inhibitor of BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4 with IC50 values range from 92 to 112 nM [1].
BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4 belong to BET bromodomain family and play an important role in regulating transcription. BRDs regulate several oncogenes transcription in a variety of cancers and thus have emerged as a promising target [2].
OTX-015 is a selective BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4 inhibitor and inhibits the binding of BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4 to AcH4. Using TR-FRET method and CHO cell lysate harboring BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4 to research the effect of OTX-015, result showed that OTX-015 inhibited BET family binding to AcH4 in a dose-dependent manner and the EC50 values range from 10 to 19 nM. When tested with human tumor cell lines, incubation with OTX-015 for 72 hours inhibited cell proliferation with GI 50 values ranged from 60 to 200 nM [1]. In ALKpos ALCL cell lines, treatment of OTX-015 for 24 h arrested cell proliferation in G1 phase which was more pronounced at 48 h and 72 h, and tested with SUPM2/TS and JB-6 cell lines OTX-015 showed ability to increase cell death rate [3].
In BLAB/c-nu/nu mice model with established Ty82 BRD-NUT midline carcinoma xenografts, oral administration of OTX-015 markedly inhibited tumor growth and reduced tumor volume [1].

Binding assays |
To assess binding of OTX015 to BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4, BRD-expressing CHO cell lysate (from CHO cells transfected with expression plasmids for Flag-tagged BRD2, BRD3, or BRD4 or vector alone), europium-conjugated anti-Flag antibody, XL-665-conjugated streptavidin, and biotinylated OTX015 were incubated at room temperature for 0.2 to 2h. Fluorescence was measured by TR-FRET using an EnVision 2103 Multilabel Reader and EC50 for binding was calculated by nonlinear regression using PRISM version 5.02. Using a similar system, the effect of OTX015 on binding of BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4 to acetylated histone H4 (AcH4) was evaluated by incubating biotin-conjugated -AcH4, BRD-expressing CHO cell lysate, europium-conjugated anti-Flag antibody, and XL-665-conjugated streptavidin. Fluorescence was measured by TR-FRET using an EnVision 2103 Multilabel Reader and percent binding was calculated by defining the value of the sample without biotin conjugate dAcH4 as 0% and the sample without OTX015 as 100%. The IC50 value was calculated by nonlinear regression using PRISM version 5.02. |
